==>>Help with ALL aspects of bipolar disorder<<==
Check out all my resources, programs and information
for all aspects of bipolar disorder by visiting:

Hi,<\/p>\n

How’s it going?<\/p>\n

Excited? You should be. You get one more
hour because of daylight saving time. <\/p>\n

On that note, I sent a daily bipolar
email about daylight saving time
yesterday. If you missed it, please see
my blog below.<\/p>\n

I wanted to add another important point
about daylight saving time. For many people
this change in time will lead to the days getting
much shorter and darker. <\/p>\n

People who have a tendency to get depressed
can during this period of winter\/fall.<\/p>\n

Things wind up getting darker and colder
and there is much less sunlight. <\/p>\n

All these things go together and can
make this period of time difficult with
someone with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

Like I have said in the past, this is
a difficult time for my mom.<\/p>\n

Actually there was a post in the
the Bipolar Inner Circle Forum
about this:<\/p>\n

“Hi, <\/p>\n

I wanted to give an update about my daughter.
She has been to her dr. and also her therapist.
She’s also undergone some blood work for her
thyroid. She is doing great. There has been
no problems. She is now doing every day kid
stuff, and enjoying herself. She planned a
Halloween party, and she had a wonderful time. <\/p>\n

After reading David’s e-mail, I am slightly
concerned about the time change. Has this ever
caused any problems for anyone else?
June”<\/p>\n

Michele Soloway actually called me and wanted
to find out what my daily email was about because
she didn’t get a chance to read it. She then
wrote June a reply I thought would be good
for you to see:<\/p>\n

“Hi June– <\/p>\n

I read your post before I had a chance to
read Dave’s email, so I called him to ask him
what was going on, and he said that you just
need to watch, that it’s possible that daylight
savings time can affect your moods — that not
everything does affect BP– but some things do,
and you just need to watch out. Especially if
you are one of those people with BP who tend to
get depressed during the fall\/winter months. <\/p>\n

You should know your own triggers, and whether
seasons, or the change of seasons is one of them.
There is something called Seasonal Affective Disorder
(SAD) that kind of runs tandem to BP — where people
who have a tendency to be depressed get more
depressed in winter because everything is so “gray”.
You can look it up on the internet to learn more. <\/p>\n

Hope that helps. <\/p>\n

Michele”<\/p>\n

Another important point is this. When it gets cold
and dark. People tend to do a lot less and get less
sunlight. This actually prevents people from burning
off extra energy in mania and can make bipolar worse.<\/p>\n

Think of it this way. Let’s say that you have bipolar
disorder and lean towards mania all the time (this is
my mom for now or the last couple of years).<\/p>\n

So my mom does a lot of stuff outside in the sun.
Doing stuff outside requires energy and the sun helps
her. So according to her, she burns off her extra energy
and then is able to say stable.<\/p>\n

But when winter comes, she doesn’t have this chance
because it’s cold and dark outside in New Jersey
during this time period. As a result, for my mom,
she can go manic more easily. <\/p>\n

And then in January, she tends to become more
depressed. This is the way it’s been for several
years. BUT, she, her doctor, therapist and myself
are on guard if the pattern changes.<\/p>\n

I know sometimes it sounds like a whole lot
of work keeping track of this but it’s not once
you learn the skill.<\/p>\n

This is the essence of what I teach in
my courses\/systems:<\/p>\n

SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n

SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/p>\n

I am trying to teach you how to manage
bipolar disorder whether you have it
or you are a supporter. <\/p>\n

So far I think I am doing good. I have
over 5000 submitted testimonials.<\/p>\n

Also, one more thing, when you get my courses\/systems
you’ll notice that many people have trouble in
the fall and winter. This doesn’t mean total
doom for people it just means they have to be more
on guard. See the doctor more. Monitor and
be on their toes so to speak.<\/p>\n

Bottom line is, please just be aware. If you
have bipolar disorder and feel different, feel like
you may be going to an episode, “catch it,” talk
to your doctor. If you see episode warning signs
and symptoms and you are a bipolar supporter,
make sure you follow my plan in my supporter
course.<\/p>\n

Well I have to take off, catch you tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Your Friend,<\/p>\n

Dave<\/p>\n

P.S. Don’t forget to take a look through the
different programs I’ve put together… each one is designed
to help you with a different area of bipolar disorder whether
you have it or you are supporting someone with it.
